I honestly didnt see enough of him to be hey he's a player or oh no... get him out of here... my impression was generally positive with hope that he can take another step... it would be huge as a 2nd year guy to come in and set it on fire... but I am not expecting that..

Based on what? They started off in a crappy suburb of LA. They were pocketed small groups all over LA county. Have you ever been to LA? You realize how spread out that city is?

I see upside in him, but I am not sure how much opportunity he really gets here right now...suddenly its pretty crowded on the DL, and thats a good thing. Groot, AJE, Bosa, Landon are all going to likely play ahead of him in the rotation. He will get some snaps, and I think he has potential to bring in those snaps, but he is probably pretty deep in the rotation to really get too many opportunities here. His best chance will be if injuries open up more reps IMHO. I do look forward to see how he looks this year though as I do think he has potential, especially after this year if Bosa doesn't prove worth bringing back or if they wanted to say move AJE to save cap space and open up more reps for our younger guys next year.

First, you are right. Watching your favorite football team live is not a need. Second, even with needs like water, the fact that they are needs doesn't change what it costs to provide them. In a natural disaster, the costs of providing those needs goes up and should be reflected in the price. In fact, in a free market high prices in a time of disaster are a good thing for a few reasons. 1) because they discourage hoarding. If a bottle of water costs $10 people will buy only what they really need therefore rationing the scarce critical resource so that everyone can have it. 2) because the high prices signal a demand from consumers (and they signal a chance for profits for providers)-which incentivizes those providers to provided the critical resources needed. I say that only to say that it is NEVER as simple as greedy and evil-even though thinking that way can be used to justify doing what we want to do. In the end, if one really believes that the owners are being greedy, one should then refuse to feed into their greed by boycotting their product Otherwise, you are left with trying to defend the idea that two wrongs make a right-they are "greedy" so it is okay for me to steal.

The older I get the more I realize I haven't been kind to my body. I haven't put myself through 18 weeks of what they do but definitely not just say around either. In the next 10-15 years I'll likely have bi later hip and knee replacements, at least 2 fused discs, and probably some more foot procedures. To do what these gladiators do for money is, in my opinion, worth it.

That play was the result of Cook getting blown up in pass protection forcing Allen to throw the ball earlier than he wanted. That one isn't on any pass catcher. But on the next two plays opportunities were there and our pass catchers failed to make them, that's the reality. That 2nd down play is why I don't join in with the chorus of complaints that we didn't use Cook enough on that drive. I think in a do or die drive to win the game you are going to have to rely on your pass game... Cook if anything was a detriment in that scenario so I understood taking him off the field. We needed Cooper or Kincaid to make the plays that were in their hands. But because they didn't, we have to listen to a lot of people including many Bills fans say that Allen didn't get the job done. It frustrates me to no end. Yeah I just don't agree with that. He was going to catch the ball several yards behind the LoS and KC had second level defenders in position to come down and make the tackle. I don't know why there is so much over analysis of that 4th down play. To me it's very simple - the best DC in the game called a 100% unpredictable blitz that would have automatically beaten any QB other than Allen, Mahomes, or Jackson. Allen made a miracle happen finding Kincaid and getting the pass off. Kincaid then performed the equivalent of a muffed punt and that was that. None of the other analysis would have ever happened if Kincaid had just done his job... And no one would be saying "wow what a catch!" they'd be saying "wow what a throw!" Allen did the hard part, Kincaid failed the easy part. Man I don't know how you could say that. Cooper has wide open space in front of him... Honestly he might have picked up 20 yards on that play. The only reason Karlaftis was able to shoestring tackle him was because he slipped.

I don’t disagree. Trump is a blowhard do nothing corrupt fool. But there are those who vote for him because they think (wrongly, in my view) the alternative might be worse.

Now you know where the thread title came from.

Seems logical. Bosa is in all likelihood going to miss a few too. If he makes an impact in spot play, he'd likely stick to the end of the season. Not a terrible spot to be in since i don't see anyone taking that DE6 spot from him. No "guaranteed" playing time, but you got 6 weeks with 2 guys missing on the DL - Bosa on a snap count, a rookie, Groot, and AJE. He should play quite a bit there, and if he plays well then you have decisions to make. Hoecht playing some special teams means you can probably keep one less DE.

didn't mean to imply that, was just musing.

There should be a roster spot available after Bosa goes on IR

A draft pick + Elam should have got this done in hindsight. There has to be more to it from GB point

Gaslighting. I’m not defending anything other than common sense and law. Powers not reserved delegates anything not enumerated as a federal power to the states. Like policing. Maybe when you pass that spelling class you can turn your lonely eyes to con law. No. This is wrong. There is nothing wrong with ICE. These guys are following orders. This is not the way to disagree with LEO tactics.

Told you - now the message is Trump is chaos. As they deliberately create chaos. Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

Sure let the rookies play and learn

Honestly, I agree with this, its clear as day we needed to improve on the outside, I am not in disagreement on that. My push back in general to the conversation around "blame" in 2023 and 2024 in terms of the ends of those games, blaming the WR's is lazy and inaccurate IMHO in those specific instances because both in 2023 and 2024 we had WR's get wide open and we failed in execution and did not even get them the ball. Making a case that more help on the outside at WR maybe leads to more points throughout a game is a fair and reasonable discussion. But too many times on this board, WR's are specifically and incorrectly getting blamed for failures on exact plays/series where it was not the WR's on the field, it was breakdowns elsewhere that led to the failures of those plays in both 2023 and 2024.

He just needs to learn how to finish. Solomon played sparingly last season, but when you watch him, he wins a ton of reps. He was around the QB a ton, but there were so many times he would get his hands on the QB and not finish. He probably should have had 5 or 6 sacks last season because he beat his man badly, but failed to get the QB on the ground. Almost looked tentative at times. Maybe he was afraid of getting flagged or something. Regardless, I saw some promise in him last year because I did watch him specifically quite a bit, but he left me frustrated when he didn't get the QB on the ground. I want to see him be more aggressive and finish this season. I think he has something.

Kind of like Rousseau

Anyone already say Alien Ant Farm Annie? That's dope as soap, mayne.

Powers not reserved means not spelled out. It is spelled out therefore the 10th is not applicable, I thought you were a lawyer? At this point we don't have time to go through a court, so I disagree. As for TDS, I want you to stop and think of why you are defending foreign nationals violently attacking American citizens? Or is setting fires not violence to you?

Been searching for a while for one of my favorite catches of his, the toe-tap TD against Tampa. Turns out it was from 1978, and I was able to find it in his highlights from the 1978 Bills video: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxWIqtKcBSEYyoBo8C-tAzmpQf4mJVoMip?si=g-CZ0VTBaCfUbfhs

We need to do that some times. Can't just send Josh plowing into the line. The Chiefs figured that play out real quick in the AFCCG. Running Gilliam or Ty Johnson through a crease off the center or guard once in a while would be nice change of pace in short yardage. I agree. And that's kind of weird with the QB we have. And we haven't exactly put a lot of draft capital into improving our WR group. That being said, I am excited about Moore and Palmer. I think they can both be good WR's with Josh throwing them the ball. And you would think Coleman would improve a good bit from his rookie season. Add in the dynamic Shakir, and a hopefully healthy Samuel and Kincaid, and you have a pretty good group of pass catchers..

Def agree there’s some upside there, also thinking there’s some downside too.

More!!!
